A new method is proposed for the optimum (mini-max structural error) synthesis of function-generating mechanisms with unlimited number of design specifications, and which are free from the branch defect. This method does not require the use of explicit branching constraints. It is developed and illustrated with numerical examples for the planar four-bar and the spatial R-S-S-R mechanisms.

A new method of designing four-bar function generators with optimum transmission angle is presented. Transmission angles are considered optimum, in a mini-max sense, when their extreme values deviate equally from 90 deg. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the synthesis procedure.

AbstractIn this paper, we provide further illustrations of prolate interpolation and pseudospectral differentiation based on the barycentric perspectives. The convergence rates of the barycentric prolate interpolation and pseudospectral differentiation are derived. Furthermore, we propose the new preconditioner, which leads to the well-conditioned prolate collocation scheme. Numerical examples are included to show the high accuracy of the new method. We apply this approach to solve the second-order boundary value problem and Helmholtz problem.

We present a new modified Newton's method with third-order convergence and compare it with the Jarratt method, which is of fourth-order. Based on this new method, we obtain a family of Newton-type methods, which converge cubically. Numerical examples show that the presented method can compete with Newton's method and other known third-order modifications of Newton's method.

Dempster-Shafer evidence theory can handle imprecise and unknown information, which has attracted many people. In most cases, the mass function can be translated into the probability, which is useful to expand the applications of the D-S evidence theory. However, how to reasonably transfer the mass function to the probability distribution is still an open issue. Hence, the paper proposed a new probability transform method based on the ordered weighted averaging and entropy difference. The new method calculates weights by ordered weighted averaging, and adds entropy difference as one of the measurement indicators. Then achieved the transformation of the minimum entropy difference by adjusting the parameter r of the weight function. Finally, some numerical examples are given to prove that new method is more reasonable and effective.

In this paper, we suggest a Newton-type method for solving the system of absolute value equations. This new method is a two-step method with the generalized Newton method as predictor. Convergence of the proposed method is proved under some suitable conditions. At the end, we take several numerical examples to show that the new method is very effective.

This paper is a departure from the usual procedure for obtaining the optimal dimensions of a four bar function generator by iteration. In the usual procedure, the accuracy points are first chosen by means of Chebishev spacing or some other means. Using these accuracy points, a four bar linkage is synthesized and the error calculated. Freudenstein’s respacing formula may then be used to respace the accuracy points so as to minimize the errors. After the respacing of the accuracy points is calculated, a new mechanism is synthesized. The process is repeated until the magnitudes of the extreme errors occurring between accuracy points are equalized. The procedure adopted in this paper is to immediately force the extreme errors between accuracy points to be equal in magnitude by imposing additional constraints upon the problem. These constraints eliminate the arbitrary choice of the first set of accuracy points. This procedure results in a more extensive set of equations to be solved than the conventional method. However, once the equations are solved, they lead directly to equalized (and thus minimized) extrema of the magnitude of structural errors between the precision points. Thus there is no need to perform the iterative steps of conventional optimization. The proposed method is illustrated with an example.

A new method is presented for computation of eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives associated with repeated eigenvalues of the generalized nondefective eigenproblem. This approach is an extension of recent work by Daily and by Juang et al. and is applicable to symmetric or nonsymmetric systems. The extended phases read as follows. The differentiable eigenvectors and their derivatives associated with repeated eigenvalues are determined for a generalized eigenproblem, requiring the knowledge of only those eigenvectors to be differentiated. Moreover, formulations for computing eigenvector derivatives have been presented covering the case where multigroups of repeated first eigenvalue derivatives occur. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
